How to Use Texting to Spice Up Your Love Life

How to Use Texting to Spice Up Your Love Life

You’re glued to your phone all day anyways, so why not use it to bring back the romance in your relationship?

-Faye Brennan

When you’re single, every little text from someone you like makes you smile. But, when you’re in a relationship, messages like “Have a great day. I love you,” lose their impact if you send them every… single… day.

That’s why Relationship Coach Michael Fiore started the website, Text The Romance Back. He believes that, when used correctly, texting can be the best way for couples to “renew [their] connection to one another and communicate the things [they] struggle to say face-to-face.”

So, how do you reignite the spark in your relationship using your cell phone? Fiore offers these tips:

1. Use visual language.

We’ve heard before that men are visual creatures, so use this to your advantage when you’re texting. “Guys are not always as emotionally complex as women and are a lot more blunt in their communication,” says Fiore. “If you want your guy to give you the romance and attention you crave, you’ve got to speak his language first.” Send a photo of you smiling, or vividly describe what you’ll be wearing when he comes home later.
